Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

FBI backtracks on denying children were zip tied in Idaho raid, saying instead no β€˜young’ kids were β€’ Idaho Capital Sun After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in raid in Wilder, Idaho, FBI says no "young" children were.

After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were.

The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

A large, gray Volvo excavator with a pincer claw tears into the side of a white building, actively demolishing it and sending dust and debris into the air. The building, which appears to be the West Wing, is partially collapsed, with a large pile of rubble on the muddy ground. Several construction workers in yellow safety vests are on the site, and the main, undamaged White House residence is visible in the background.

This is the East Wing of the White House that Trump is having demolished to build his gaudy Mar a Lago style ballroom.

When a White House press secretary uses dehumanizing language like this - labeling millions of Americans as β€œterrorists” or β€œcriminals” - it crosses a line that should matter to everyone, regardless of party.

This should never be acceptable from the people who speak for the President of the USA.πŸ‘‡

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken.  How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

There is a stink emanating from the House of Reps created by the refusal of Johnson to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva. Very reminiscent of the stench that rose from the Senate in 2016 when McConnell refused to hold a hearing re Obama’s nominee for Supreme Court.Someone please file a law suit.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

He arrived in the US at 9 months old, got wrongfully convicted of murder, spent 40+ years in prison for a crime he didn't do, and now he gets arrested by ICE and faces deportation. This is pure evil. Any admin acting like this wouldn't hesitate to destroy your life or mine.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.
